Objectification of Women on Tv and in Movies

why is it that in TV shows and in so spelly movies that women argon almost always objectified in one way or another? on that point are so many television shows and movies come in on that point that soften women in so many different ways. Darren in Bewitched is a akin trying to suppress Samanthas magic to make her the perfect mark wife and she doesnt try to stop him. In fact, she does allthing she can to descend his every wish just so hell be happy. In The Client List, Riley is portrayed as a sex object. It gives the ruling that the only thing women can do is sell their clay for sex.Then there is Mary Jane from Spiderman who always needs rescued by Spiderman, giving the ikon that women are helpless and always need a man somewhat to save the day. Lets not forget The Scorpion King where nance Memnon exercises his Sorceress for his own personal agenda. Will watching movies and shows such as these propel how girls fill themselves? The Scorpion King is a primary example t o the objectification of women in movies. The master(prenominal) fe manful character, the sorceress, has been used her entire life by King Memnon.Hes unplowed her prisoner since she was a child to use her visions to give him the focal ratio hand in battle. He forces her to go through a vision every day and then tell him if he is going to win or lose his next battle so that he can election his battles and be more successful in his goal to run everything. At one point in the movie, Memnon basically tells the illusionist that when hes through development her for her visions hes going to start using her for his own sexual pleasure. The Sorcerer is more than happy to be interpreted hostage by Matheyus.She later tells him that she only went with him so provideingly because Memnon kept her prisoner since she was a child. She was being used her entire life by a man that just hopeed to be feared by everyone and rule everything. It portrays societys typical stereotype of women. Do ev erything the man wants and amuse him in any way you can without a single complaint. The Sorcerer makes it obvious that shed much rather stay with Matheyus, the man who threatens to shoot her, than go back to Memnon, the man who has been using her for so long.This is because in the ill-judged time that shes been with Matheyus, she has already been treated better that she has been her entire life. Memnon has constantly used the Sorceress to give himself an advantage in battle. This is an example of the typical male figure objectifying a woman and using her to get what he wants. He treats her like shes nothing more than a piece of his property. gibe to Gloria Steinem, A female child is left to believe that, even when her body is as big as her spirit, she will still be help with minor tasks, appreciating the accomplishments of others, and waiting to be rescued (356).This quote helps to explain the Sorcerers want to omit but also her challenge in the fact that she has to have some ones help to escape Memnon. And no surprise, it has to be a mans help because she wouldnt have been able to escape on her own. The Sorcerer also feels the need to escape after Memnon informs her of his picture to use her for his own sexual pleasure when hes done using her for her visions. According to Christine Seifert, Digging into Edwards mind reinforces the old stereotype that underneath it all, even the best guys are calculating vampires, figuring out how to act on their masculine urges (346-7).This quote helps to explain Memnons fights to comprise advantage of the Sorcerer because according to a myth spread by the Sorcerers ancestors, the first time any sorceress has sex she will lose her gift of foresight. So if he wants to keep his advantage in battle, he has to fight his natural male urges. Watching movies and shows such as these cant be having a positive effect on younger girls. They use female roles that they see on TV and in movies as role models just as much as they us e the women around them as role models.So what are they suppose to think when they see things like that? How are they going to act if they use women like that as a role model? Are they going to know that thats just pretend and women arent really like that? Or are they going to think that they need to do everything a man wishes without a single complaint just to keep them happy, whether they like it or not? Are they going to think that they have to wait for the perfect man to rescue them when things become bad in a relasionship?Its questions like these that we dont have the answers to that we should worry most about.
